Katie Boo (aka Kate Mattison) was born in a small coal-mining town in Ohio and was raised by the radio before relocating to Brooklyn. The electricity of the city combined with her love of the heartland's soul music and inspired her to start her band, 79. 5. Bronco Boo (Mark Everett) began life in a Washington, D. C. hospital and was brought home to live on the wild prairies of the Northern Virginia suburbs. He changed his name to the letter "E" and formed the band EELS before deciding to go back to Bronco in 2025. While listening to KCRW late one night in his adoptive home of Los Angeles, Bronco heard a song by 79. 5. This led to a musical dialogue of ideas and songs sent back and forth between Brooklyn and LA. Feeling like they were onto something special, and realizing they were born with the same last name, Boo Boos decided it would be silly not to record these songs. The result is their debut album, Young Love.
